Six brand new train cars began carrying passengers between Denver International’s Jeppesen Terminal and concourses recently — part of a larger effort to upgrade the Colorado airports Automated Guideway Train System. The new train cars increase the number of passengers that can be moved to the gates by approximately 850 people per hour. “Our train to the concourses play a crucial role in the passenger experience at DEN. With 77.8 million annual passengers and millions more expected year over year, we know we need the most reliable, durable and efficient infrastructure and systems to ensure as seamless an experience as possible,” said Airport CEO Phil Washington. #aviationnews
